Organisers
The event is jointly organised by the Faith & Public Policy Forum, King’s College London; St Mellitus College (the diocese of London and Chelmsford’s theological and ordination training institute); and the Centre for Contextual Theology (CTC). King’s, St Mellitus and CTC have an established relationship and are already working together in a variety of ways to resource and equip the church in London in its mission and ministry through theological education. This event is designed to initiate a conversation about the way beyond the economic crises, one framed by theological considerations rather than economic ones, and build relationship between bankers, theological educators, church leaders and policy makers within a church rather than a political setting.
